  <abstract>This is an essential introduction to the critical analysis of organizations which can be thoroughly recommended to all students coming to this subject new. In a writing style which is lucid, witty and informative, Grey shows how the study of organizations is central to all our lives. He rescues organization studies from managerial hype and places it back at the centre of our understanding of the social, ethical and political dilemmas of the twenty-first century.</abstract>
